This morning, we take a quick look back at what we have heard about so far this year, then we look at Nehemiah 4, what was happening then and how we can apply it to our lives now.

(Apologies for the sound quality this week, and those looking for the previous week's podcast; we had some technical issues, so we weren't able to get the word Samantha brought to you)

Looking again at our foundations, we must be people of the Spirit, and we must be people of the Word.

Are we spending time waiting on the Lord?

To encounter the wind and fire of the Spirit.

Are we ready at a moment's notice to bring the word, in and out of season?

We are people of the word and of the spirit, so is what God is doing on the inside, causing us to want to talk to others about Him.

Today, we hear from our friends in Israel and pray blessings upon them.

We also look back on part of our story and how God has spoken to us about being fishers of men, here in our backyard and to the nations.

How should we be in this time?

Not reacting to the things happening around us but responding rightly according to what The Word says.

To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God.

This morning, Ken discussed a couple of recent events and encouraged us to reflect on our foundations. What are we building on?

First, we hear an exhortation from Cindy then we hear from Ken about having in us, a default of thankfulness.

From dreams in the night, to long-term vision for your generation and the next.

How do we hear from God and how do we steward that well.
